Rebuild tags after branch change #89

Open reidrac opened 5 years ago

reidrac commented 5 years ago

Not sure if this is a feature request or a question but it would be very useful if gen_tags was rebuilding the tags DB after a branch change.

It gets me confused evey now and then and I basically clean the tags and generate them again (not sure if the first step is required).

Thanks in advance.

This plugin is awesome, thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the issue! This is the issue that I alway want to fix. But I have no idea how to detect the change of git brach in vim instantly.

Any suggestions?

Not sure. I guess it could somethinbg like checking for a branch change when there's an event in vim. What event? Good question. What are plugins like vim-gitgutter doing?

EDIT: also, if the branch change happens because something in vim (.e.g. fugitive), perhaps linking to that is a possibility too.
